"Auntie, what does the woman do for a living, and how old is she?"

After all the cleaning was done, Xia Yichu asked Lin's mother, "With such a rush of time, can the person you introduced be reliable?"

"I'm unemployed. I haven't found a job since graduating from high school. I think I'm 21 this year."

It was Liu Fang, a colleague at her hospital, who introduced them. Her son had only been back for a little over ten days, and Lin's mother wanted to cast a wide net, letting her son meet as long as someone introduced them.

Whether I have a job or not is not important; I won't be able to work after I get married and have children. My son's rank isn't high enough to accompany me to my military post.

"It's been several years since you graduated, Auntie. Do you know anything about your family situation?"

"He has a younger brother, but I didn't have time to ask about anything else. It's alright, the girl might not even be interested in your brother."

Her son is in the military and can't accompany her, so they only see each other a few times a year. The fact that the woman agreed to come and meet is already very kind of her; she can't ask for too much.

"Big brother, do you have a girl you like?"

Lin's mother also looked at her son; she had forgotten to ask him if he had someone he liked. It would be even better if he did; then there would be no need for matchmaking.

"No"

He spends all his time in the military training or on missions; there's no time for him to have someone he likes.

"It's almost time, Xingyuan, go take a shower and change your clothes."

I was sweating while cleaning, so my clothes smell and are dirty, as is my hair.

"Mom, I don't want to meet her."

"If you don't want to see me, then have some backbone and find someone yourself. Enough talk, time is running out. Hurry up and go take a shower and change your clothes, and wash your hair too."

Lin's mother pushed Lin Xingyuan into the bathroom, then went to the room to get his clothes and put them in his hands.

"hurry up"

Lin Xingyuan reluctantly went inside to take a shower, while his father was still a bit confused. His son had just returned home; why was he already being asked to go on a blind date?

"Old Lin, please take the lunch break and don't go to work. Xiao Chu, please take good care of An An later."

This is the first time her son has met someone, so Lin's mother is taking it very seriously. An'an took a nap in the car this morning and is in good spirits now, but he probably won't sleep so early at noon.

"Okay, Auntie."

Xia Yichu didn't actually approve of her older brother's interference in the matchmaking process; marriage is a major life event and shouldn't be rushed. However, seeing how anxious her aunt was, she couldn't say anything.

"I can't take leave at noon because of work. Besides, it's just a casual meeting; nothing's even remotely happening yet, why would I need to take leave?"

Seeing that Lin Weidong didn't seem to care about his son's marriage, Lin's mother was furious.

"Go, go, go to work, don't get in the way here."

Lin Weidong said confidently, "We still have forty minutes before work starts. What are we going to do now? An'an, Grandpa will play with you."

An'an was sitting on the floor playing with his toys when Lin Weidong went over to tease him. Lin's mother didn't have time to deal with him right now, nor did she want to argue with him.

"Auntie, who did the bride come with?"

"Liu Fang said they'd be coming over, and then she had to go to work. She didn't say who the woman was with. Never mind, I'm going to buy some fruit; they should be here soon. Keep an eye on your brother, don't let him run away."

Lin's father was home alone, and there was nothing to eat at home.

"it is good"

Lin's mother rushed off to buy fruit, almost forgetting about this.

"Uncle, aren't you worried about my eldest brother's marriage?"

"No rush. A grown man who doesn't even know how to get a wife needs his family to help him find one."

"Dad, I don't need the family to introduce me to someone."

Lin Xingyuan had just finished showering when he heard his father complaining about him. He said that he only wanted to spend time with his family this time and was not in a hurry to get married.

"Your mother just got home and did a ton of chores because of you, so you better take a good look at her."

"Dad, I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Hurry up and boil some water so you can make tea for the woman later. You have no sense at all."

Lin Xingyuan went to boil water looking aggrieved, while An'an stared wide-eyed at Lin Weidong as he spoke.

"An'an, don't be like your uncle in the future. He has a hard time finding a wife. Back when I worked at your maternal grandmother's house, she insisted on marrying me off after only two days. We have to fight for our own wives."

Lin Weidong chattered on and on with An'an, who responded with babbling in response. Xia Yichu watched from the side, finding it amusing.

Half an hour later, Lin's mother's voice came from outside.

"Xiao Chu, come help me get some."

Lin's mother was worried that the matchmaking today might not be successful. If it didn't, her son would have to go for another matchmaking tomorrow, so she bought quite a lot of things.

"I'll do it."

Lin Weidong scurried over, took the things from his mother's hands, and went inside. He glanced smugly at his son, who was boiling water at the kitchen door, and told him to learn from him.

Why haven't you gone to work yet?

Lin Weidong glanced at his watch; it was almost time to go to work.

"I'll go now."

Lin Weidong went over and teased An'an for a bit before riding his bicycle to work.

"Xiao Chu, come help wash the fruit. Tell your brother to watch over An An."

"it is good"

There are many fruits available this season. Lin's mother bought watermelon, peaches, longan, bananas, mangoes, as well as grapes and pears.

I cut up watermelon, peaches, mangoes, and pears. I washed the grapes and put them together with the cut fruit in two big bowls. I put longan and bananas on the side.

"I'll go see if they've arrived yet."

After washing the fruit, Lin's mother couldn't sit still and went to the door to wait. Xia Yichu saw An'an staring at the fruit, so she took a banana and went to the kitchen to get a small spoon to feed him.

"Big brother, are you nervous?"

"Not nervous"

It's not like he's getting married, so what's there to be nervous about? He just plans to go through the motions to put his mother at ease.

"They're here, Xingyuan. Come with me outside."

Seeing Liu Fang with two people from afar, Lin's mother immediately came in and took Lin Xingyuan outside. Lin Xingyuan reluctantly followed his mother. Xia Yichu was feeding An'an bananas and didn't go out with them.

"Be a little more enthusiastic and attentive later, okay?"

"mom"

Lin Xingyuan could only reluctantly agree after being glared at by his mother. In the blink of an eye, Liu Fang arrived with two people. She said with a smile, "Director Zhang, this is Lizhu, and this is her cousin-in-law."

"Xiaofang, I'm retired now, don't call me Director, just call me Sister Zhang."

"OK"

"Hello, Auntie," the girl greeted Lin's mother in a confident and generous manner.

"Hello, this is my son, Lin Xingyuan."

Lin's mother pinched Lin Xingyuan, urging him to greet them quickly. She was quite satisfied with the first impression of the other person; he was generous and unpretentious.

"Mom, let's go inside first." Lin Xingyuan felt it wasn't appropriate to talk to her while standing at the door.

"Yes, yes, let's go inside first and talk about it."

"Sister Zhang, you two talk, I won't go in."

Liu Fang had to go back to work, so she only introduced them and left it to them to discuss whether they liked them or not.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After Liu Fang left, Lin's mother invited them inside.

"Come on, sit down anywhere, and have some fruit."

When they went in, An'an was asleep, so Xia Yichu carried him to his room to sleep.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Afraid that the girls would be shy, Lin's mother used toothpicks to stick a piece of peach on each of them, and then pushed the fruit in front of them.

"Auntie, I heard that Xingyuan is serving in the army."

After finishing a piece of peach, Lizhu's cousin-in-law said that she had come mainly to ask about the man's situation.

"right"

"Auntie, then I'll just say what I have to say."

When she came in, Lizhu nodded to her, indicating that she was quite satisfied with Lin Xingyuan.

You said that dating means getting to know each other.

"I heard that you're supporting two college students, and now that you're retired and helping your daughter take care of her child, will Xingyuan need to use his salary to help support the family after he gets married?"
